Returning from the abyss

Chapter 760 The first stage, a blind dream

Those who went to work this morning noticed the strange condition of the floor.A lot of smashed tables and chairs were thrown in the corridor, and the doors of every room were open. A total of 22 employees from nine companies that should be here were missing.As if they had experienced a fierce fight, many things were smashed in each room, but there was no blood on the scene, so there should be no bloodshed.

The photos secretly taken before the police arrived also showed that the scene was indeed chaotic, and it was obvious at a glance that something had happened.The police probably contacted the leaders of several companies, and those who disappeared were all those who stayed on the night shift or the night shift. Now it depends on how to deal with the situation.

However, after such a fuss, there were fewer complaints on the forum of "Distortion Point". Leading the team secretly also knows that the game company will probably slow down for a while.

"It's roughly like this." Ying Caiyi drank the juice and gave Lu Ning a general summary of what happened on the forum.

"so?"

"So, the problem caused by the game yesterday is probably not solved for the time being. Their game company doesn't have many people. If they lose a few at once, it will be troublesome now, and they have to wait for the funds to return."

"...Really, well, the game isn't bad anyway."

Lu Ning replied perfunctorily, her eyes still fixed on the photo that Ying Caiyi showed.

The signs left by the disappearance of life will not be easily erased, and it is impossible to find those 22 people, because they are there.

This ability is different from what Lu Ning has encountered so far.So far, even if she has seen some supernatural power, it is only destructive power, strengthening a certain aspect, increasing the number, etc., and it is not strong, at least any of the four pieces of equipment on her is far higher than that Level.

But this time, the method used by the attacker gave her a sense of danger, and the instinct to fight that gradually faded during the past ten days with her family and friends began to revive again.

This was not done by ordinary people, maybe even... people like her?
Lu Ning remained calm, turned around and returned to her seat, and took out her mobile phone.

"When I really started to doubt my memory..."

[Find the way home. 】

"If all the memories about the distribution center are correct..."

[Find the way home. 】

"You were supposed to be there all along, I just couldn't see it, and now—"

She swiped the screen and found the app in the shape of a crow.As if instinctively, Lu Ning immediately clicked on the APP, and then the crow zoomed in until the black covered the entire screen, and the white fonts began to light up.

["Homecoming" tourist Lu Ning, you are now on the first stage - blind dream.The tasks of this stage will be released in the order of stage development. The number of starting tourists on the first stage is two, and they will be unlocked at the moment of contact with the presence of the other party.

This scene "Homecoming" is a chaotic scene.

Serious warning: Tourist Lu Ning is still in the lost stage, please maintain a clear understanding of yourself and stabilize your position, otherwise the risk will be extremely high in the future.

Scene introduction: Those lost wanderers came to a place where they should have existed. Everything in this place is extremely familiar, and the only thing that has changed is themselves.However, this is an excellent change. With all of this, those things that might bring regrets have now turned around, and the imperfections in life can be changed by myself.

However, when the reality starts to deviate from the original track, who is performing a puppet show on the out-of-control stage?

The first stage, blind dreams.

1-1 Solve a distortion point incident.

1-2 Advance the stage to the second act.

The second stage-is about to start.

Good luck finding your way home. 】

"I never forgot what happened there, unless the memory was altered for some other reason."

Lu Ning closed her eyes, turned off her phone, and rethought.

The sense of cognitive confusion is extremely uncomfortable, but... a chaotic scene?Why?Even if it is just a scene here, most of it is exactly the same as my hometown, but some foreign objects are mixed in, even if I count myself as one of the foreign objects.

Those white words that just appeared in my mind are slowly disappearing, except for the phrase "find the way home" which is still obvious and correct, the rest are fading from memory.

Lu Ning slowly took two deep breaths.

"Today is Sunday...Everyone..." Li Xian turned over from the upper bunk, her arms drooped, and said lazily to the bottom, "Do you want to go shopping or something..."

"I'm fine, but isn't Sister Lu going on a date with her boyfriend?" Ying Caiyi shrugged, "I guess she'll leave immediately after training today."

"I have to... make a phone call and ask, if it doesn't work, the three of us can go, Lu Ning, are you free?"

"Yes." Lu Ning smiled.

As soon as Li Xian turned over and got up from the bed, she pulled out her mobile phone from the side of the quilt and hung up on Lu Chunxiao. She really went out to play with Chu Wei, and she probably won't be back until evening.

So the three of them packed up their things a little and set off.

Zhaoxing North Road is a relatively prosperous commercial pedestrian street nearby, where you can enjoy shopping, food or entertainment.The three of them took a taxi and arrived at the intersection in 10 minutes.Of course, it was more bustling here on Sunday, and crowds gathered around some buskers. Fortunately, it was big enough to not appear crowded.

"Where to go first?"

As soon as they arrived here, Li Xian and Ying Caiyi immediately became more energetic. They looked at each other and pointed to the same shop in a tacit understanding.

"Second-hand store?" Lu Ning looked at the store they pointed to. She had only been here once or twice before, and it was all memories from before she came back. Not impressed at all now.

"Although it is said to be second-hand, 200% of the things there are basically new." Li Xian said proudly, "You don't go out often, but we come here every one or two months to find something good. Once Ying Caiyi got a great bag and only spent [-] yuan."

"Blood earning." Ying Caiyi grinned and said, "Lu Ning, you have to follow me, my luck is much better than Li Xian's."

"Look, I'm sure to find something good this time." Li Xian said unconvinced.

Then the two dragged Lu Ning into the store.

The shop is not small, and there are about a dozen customers here.Four or five shop assistants could not cope with it, but Li Xian and Ying Caiyi guessed that they were too many and they were familiar with these shop assistants, so they raised their hands to say hello and immediately started to split up.Lu Ning followed Ying Caiyi to the row of shelves on the left.

"This place is full of clothes, bags, accessories, etc... Li Xian always goes to CDs and peripherals first, how many good things do you think you can get at that place even if there is a discount?" Ying Caiyi said with a smile , "These clothes and the like are the most discounted, and the quality is quite good."

It's really good, but Lu Ning herself doesn't have a lot of needs for these things, and she just walked around here with Ying Caiyi.

At the end of this row of shelves are some accessories, not only for wearing on the body, but also for decorations. Lu Ning thinks that she can buy one and use it as decoration.Since they are all second-hand products, the prices are basically in the tens to tens, which is already very cheap compared to the workmanship.

Ying Caiyi was still picking up bags in front, and Lu Ning came over to admire these ornaments.Just when she looked up by chance, she saw a wooden ornament on the top shelf—no, it should be said to be a group of wood carvings.On a stepped base, there were three rows of fifteen tennis-ball-sized monster wood carvings, each of which looked lifelike. Lu Ning raised her eyebrows and reached out to take the wood carvings off the shelf.

The base is engraved with patterns of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the fifteen monsters are divided into five groups. Lu Ning tried it out, and each monster wood carving can be removed, and each monster is engraved under the wood carving name.

There are very slight distortion points on it, and Lu Ning doesn't even know if this is something that should exist naturally or something else.She observed the appearance of fifteen monsters, and she had never seen the appearance of these monsters, either in the "Distortion Point" game or in reality.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ning planned to buy this. She went to the counter and asked the staff. The placement of these wood carvings has been like this since they were received.Lu Ning asked for the delivery date, and got a reply soon, just two weeks ago.

The timing is also suspicious.

After paying the money, the staff carefully packaged it, and attached a photo to Lu Ning to prevent those monsters from dispersing.Lu Ning held the box in her hand and went back to look for Ying Caiyi. At this moment, she suddenly heard a scream from the side, followed by a man rushing over from the shelf on the other side, and hurried towards the door.

"Get him!" a woman screamed.

Lu Ning lifted her leg, hooked the toe of the man's calf, and kicked him staggeringly. Then she reached out and clasped the man's collar and pressed down hard, pressing him to the ground. Foot stepped on one of his hands.The hand was released, and a wallet fell to the ground. A mother and daughter ran over from behind, and everyone around them also gathered around to help hold down the man who was about to break free.

"The police have been called, please rest assured." The staff rushed over with their mobile phones in time, "Are you two not injured?"

"My mother sprained her foot!" shouted the younger woman, "Can you call me a taxi? We are going to the hospital... Thank you, and this girl, this man please help us first Deal with it, I have to send my mother to the hospital for an examination first!"

"Okay lady, this is our phone number. If you want to know the follow-up, please contact us after your affairs are finished. Please also leave your phone number so that the police can contact you later." The clerk is obviously mature and experienced Yes, I immediately took out a card from my clothes and handed it to the lady. After a hasty thank you, the lady picked up the wallet and gave a number, and helped the old lady out of the room.

"It's dangerous."

After such a fuss, Ying Caiyi and Li Xian also surrounded her, restrained the man and waited for the police to come, of course Lu Ning didn't need to come, she quietly retreated to the side.However, the two friends saw that she was holding the thief's hand just now, Li Xian couldn't help but patted Lu Ning on the shoulder: "It's ok, Lu Ning, such a gentleman rushed over and let you put him down."

"It's Qiao Jin, he took advantage of the situation when he lost his balance, but it's quite dangerous." Lu Ning said.

"Ha, that's true."

Lu Ning originally meant that the thief was very dangerous. If she hadn't pulled the collar and pressed it from the back, she would suddenly fall down when she was rushing, maybe there was something wrong with her nose or jaw, but she thought about it and decided not to say so much , such emergencies are not often encountered.

Soon the police came over and made inquiries on the spot. Some guests including Lu Ning provided something they knew.Then the thief was taken away. Before leaving, the man gave Lu Ning a look, but Lu Ning didn't even bother to talk to him.

When checking out, the clerk handed Lu Ning a small box the size of a palm.

"Thank you for your timely help just now. If the thief escapes, our store may have to bear more losses. This is a small gift, please accept it." It was the clerk who came to deal with it.

"Then I'm welcome."

This incident did not affect the mood of the three of them. After leaving the second-hand store, they bought some fried chicken, grilled sausage, milk tea and the like in a snack bar on the street, and continued shopping while eating.Lu Ning also opened the small box and looked at it. It was a string of crystal clear necklaces. Of course, it was probably not made of expensive materials, but it just looked good.

"The thief...do you remember Lu Ning?" Li Xian said suddenly while eating a bunch of meatballs, "What if he retaliates if he is released?"

"You have to find it. There are so many people in the city, where can I find it?" Ying Caiyi shrugged.

"Yes, don't worry." Lu Ning also said.

——When you come, beat me up again.

In Lu Ning's eyes, the streets are not so peaceful. People's vitality is different, and the anger they show is not particularly the same. The effect of "Requiem" is weakened when it is not fully displayed. In fact, Lu Ning can turn it off. She is just worried about the problem of distortion points that may arise at any time.

It seems that I have a task to solve a distortion point incident?
Lu Ning knew that she had probably forgotten something, but she couldn't remember exactly where and when the forgetting happened.She only knew that she should believe in herself, and believe in the hints she left for herself.

After walking out of a cosmetics store, Li Xian suddenly said sorry, picked up her phone and walked to the side to answer the call.Lu Ning and Ying Caiyi looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Want to go see a movie later?" Ying Caiyi asked.

"What good movies have you seen recently?"

"There's a movie called..."The Boundless Winter". It seems to have been well received recently. It's a suspense movie."

"Really? That's fine, anyway, let's go together on weekends."
